Not sure the Atlantic League is the way forward.

At very best it would act as a precursor, or even a reason for Man U, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich etc to make their own version and we'd be stuck in the "Thursday Cup" equivalent forever.

Not sure when this started but as of a few days ago when I open my email account in chrome on my laptop I cant open individual emails. When I click on them nothing happens.

I can check on my ipad and phone no problem but not working on the laptop.

When googling I saw answer from a year ago suggesting it may be due to an old browser. How do I know if my version of chrome needs updating?

It also suggested that a cached version of the page may be causing problems. However I cleared the cache and nothing has changed.

No idea whats going on.

I got told by Rangers staff when home in July that Celtic will struggle FOREVER to get 5* status. Apparently the reason they dont have it is because the tunnel is too narrow, and with the structure of Parkhead they cant do much about it

Would be really pleased if this was the case.

Faure is not the answer either for me.

Not sure on Mohsni. Looked like a Bougherra-light when he first came in but seems to either have lost that assured nature or is being over-confident. Not quite sure which. Worried he is not as good as I initially thought. Jury still out. Probably our best defender but maybe wont stroll the top league that I first thought/hoped.

Need a right back too. Now that I come to think of it we need a minimum of 2 (possibly 3) first choice defenders for our back four once we return to the top flight.

Know nothing about the situation but sacked whilst joint top does seem odd.

Ps. Hartley has obviously done a good job but their recent run was something like 8 defeats on the spin. Also strong rumours in Alloa (was just up there visiting family) that he had a fight with a young or youth team player that largely led to him walking away. May all be BS but wouldnt be what I would be looking for in a manager if a Dundee fan.

Friday 7 February

Rangers v Dunfermline

 

Saturday 8 February

Albion Rovers v Stenhousemuir

Alloa Athletic v Dumbarton

Celtic v Aberdeen

Forfar Athletic v St Johnstone

Hibernian v Raith Rovers

Stranraer v Inverness CT

 

Sunday 9 February

Dundee Utd v St Mirren

"Likely" to progress:

Rangers

Stenhousemuir

Alloa/Dumbarton

Celtic

St Johnstone

Hibs

ICT

Dundee United

Assuming we beat Dunfermline then if course we'd want a home draw and to avoid Celtic. But the rest are winnable.

Yes DU/Sheep/ICT would be tough. But we trounced the 2nd best team in the country last year and could beat these again.

We are unlikely to win it and we would need luck in the draw and in individual games. But I wouldn't go as far to say I wouldn't fancy us against any SPL side.

Templeton has given us a little bit of a spark in a few recent games.

Good.

However he's either been misquoted here or telling porkies as he was talking up coming back to. Rangers when on tv for one of our games recently.

Does Gribz deserve a ban for that last post?

Glasgow to cope with the size of crowd? :-) Easter Road wasn't even sold out despite one of the semi finalists being from Edinburgh. Dunno about the other semi.

Agree with all of your post andy_steel.

Would be interested in seeing a comparable list for us too. Think it would show a difference as we count all tickets sold too, but don't think it woul look as ridiculous as Celtic's. Do we really believe 24,000 season ticket holders didn't turn up for the Partick game????

Shocking attendances yet they still don't miss us.

Ignoring all the lying surely the actual attendances are a concern for the top flight?

It is when people use terminology like "cunty". So, before casting stones, perhaps take a look at your own contribution.

 

"batter into" ?? Seriously ? You have got to be kidding me. You know as well as I do that the mocking of BF in this thread is child's play in comparison to what truly amounts to "battering into".

 

You know what else is sad ?? It is sad that people batter into current players... you know, guys like Peralta, who you have not been shy of showing your disdain for. That is sad.

 

Me thinks you defend BF far too vehemently. But that is your choice. Just as it is the choice of others to mock him for saying something stupid.

 

Ohhh, and by the way, why would anyone make mention of him being 5 mins away from a win the previous game ? This thread wasnt initiated due to his team losing 5-1, it was initiated due to him making a comment which looks somewhat foolish.

 

This is mountain out of molehill stuff.

Stating that Peralta is not a good footballer and that we have played more exciting football with Aird in the same position is not the same at laughing at Ferguson for a shocking result that continues a trend for a team in horrific form, see earlier posts. Frankly a joke you are trying to compare the two. Even you can see that is nonsense when you look back at it.

The point of mentioning his first result is no one wanted to talk about a positive first ever game as manager. No. They waited til the second poor result to mock him. Sadly typical if many in out support. Thee are some former. Gers, Barry, Hutton, Boyd etc. whose contributions were largely positive at the club yet many fans can't wait for an opportunity to knock them and won't take opportunities to promote them doing well. I find that quite sad tbh.

No mention of the fact that they were 5 mins from a win in his first game in charge after 9 defeats in 10 ( 8 of those losses in the league with one draw) and then yeh ok got spanked 5-1 away to play-off contenders Reading. Hardly criminal for a new manager taking over a team with that sort of form.

But still can't miss an opportunity to batter into our former captain.

Sad.. And sad that people want to defend it really.

Should invite Totti and co. back. Site is getting to the sort of standards it did then tbh.

If you like....

Standards are slipping if people posting threads that amount to mocking a former legend with about as much thought as "haw Barry's a shit manager ha ha" and then follow up posts of laughing smileys is what we are after.

Just becomes a less popular FF then.

I'm confused.

 

Is it *any* ex-Rangers player who can say anything as ridiculous and ill-conceived as he wants without being lampooned, or is it only Hall of Fame members?

 

 

 

 

You're partly right.

I fail to see why some fans would go out of their way to mock legendary players for the club.

And, likewise, if I see someone who is making irrelevant posts, I'm gonna say so too.

Fine except people make "irrelevant" posts in threads all the time yet I cant remember it being pulled up before.

Disappointed tbh.

People talk about all manner of things that are unimportant on here.

We cant promote ourselves as a quality wee forum in comparison to the quantitatively superior ones out there then support childish nonsense like mocking a member of the hall of fame over only his second ever game as a caretaker manager.

This thread is an embarrassment to Gersnet imo.

EPL, Ashley Cole, Joe Hart now Man City. It's why sky and the English media do. Can't just say they're very good. No, they must be unequivocally the best in the world.

You can do it.

By the same token other people have the right not to like it and think its low behaviour.

People post stuff that could be seen as more OT all the time.

If I think people have a cunty attitude I'm gonna say so.

Relevance of that statement isnt clear to me.

 

What does BF being a millionaire, or a Rangers legend, have to do with Gersnet members lives or his capabilities as a manager ????

Attitude of mocking a former bear stinks frankly. Some maybe dont like him but I find this stuff pretty low.

Sad reactions in here.

Millionaire Rangers legend would piss himself at your lives.

Say we want to compete in the top division. Sell star player and one of about 4 actually good enough for our team and that league.

Who else was in Motherwell's Champion's League group?
